Chapter 1072: Chapter 952: Identity Exposed
Ma Biqian from the Tianyuan Sect was seething with anger, leading Gu Yun and a group of elite disciples to quickly catch up with the people from the Xuanwu Sect.
“People from the Tianyuan Sect?”
The mbers of the Xuanwu Sect, upon seeing that it was indeed their rival sect, the Tianyuan Sect, couldn’t help but beco vigilant.
After all, they were outnumbered, and if a fight were to break out, they might not have the upper hand. Therefore, although they were fully alert, the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect did not really want to fight.
“Zhou Tian, what a surprise! Fate brings us together once more.”
“Indeed, we et again. What do you want?”
Zhou Tian, unafraid, even though the opponent had more people, couldn’t lose his montum. He stepped forward and coldly looked at Ma Biqian, asking him.
“Haha… nothing in particular…”
Ma Biqian sneered, just about to speak, when he suddenly felt soone tugging at his clothes from behind. He was startled, and the rest of his words were cut off.
Turning around, Ma Biqian saw that it was Gu Yun, who was pulling at his clothes. Gu Yun, already filled with suppressed anger, wanted to slap him if not for Zhou Tian standing nearby.
“What are you doing?”
Ma Biqian asked coldly.
“——”
No response, Gu Yun was agitated.
Because, when confronting the Xuanwu Sect just now, he unexpectedly found that among them was Ye Fan.
Although he had never seen Ye Fan in person, he had seen Ye Fan’s appearance through live satellite broadcasts and was deeply impressed by Ye Fan’s daring move to lure the Fla Eagle of the True Essence Realm alone, and he was absolutely sure it was him.
Originally, he thought Ye Fan would surely die in that terrifying explosion, but unexpectedly, he survived and ca to the Xuan Realm.
Gu Yun rubbed his eyes hard, afraid he had made a mistake, but everything in front of him confird he was not mistaken.
So, regardless of Elder Ma’s anger, he interrupted his conversation with Zhou Tian. He had to inform Ma Biqian of this matter, otherwise, if fighting broke out, it would be too late to say anything later.
“Elder Ma, co here!”
Gu Yun swallowed a few tis to calm his emotions, then pulled at Ma Biqian’s clothes, leading him behind the group.
The elite disciples of the Tianyuan Sect were puzzled, not knowing what Gu Yun was up to.
But under these circumstances, they obviously couldn’t say anything, much less inquire. They could only stand firm at the front, confronting Zhou Tian and others.
“What’s the matter? Speak!”
Reaching the back, Ma Biqian casually set up a Soundproof Array to prevent the Xuanwu Sect from hearing. He frowned slightly and spoke to Gu Yun, knowing that such sneaky behavior must involve sothing very important, so he was not angry.
“Elder Ma, did you see that young man among the people of the Xuanwu Sect? The one with the weakest strength, I t him on Earth, and I can guarantee with my life that this young man is definitely the one from Earth. I rember his Earth na should be Ye Fan…”
Gu Yun recounted in detail to Elder Ma Biqian the scene of seeing Ye Fan on Earth, leaving Ma Biqian very surprised that there was an Earth visitor mixed in their opponent’s group.
This matter was significant, and Ma Biqian repeatedly asked Gu Yun for confirmation, fearing any mistake.
Gu Yun swore vehently, taking oaths and claiming everything he said was true, willing to swear on his life.
Gu Yun’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for the surrounding brothers to hear. Everyone was excited since an Earth visitor was even rarer to them than Divine Beasts.
“No one should spill the beans, I will negotiate with them!”
Ma Biqian knew how critically important this matter was and that not a whisper should leak.
Otherwise, if the Xuanwu Sect found out Ye Fan was from another world, they would surely compete with them. The fewer who knew, the greater the confidentiality!
These elite disciples naturally understood this principle, and more so because the other party, being the Xuanwu Sect, was in a hostile stance with the Tianyuan Sect. They wouldn’t let the opponent learn such an earth-shattering secret.
Under the leadership of Ma Biqian, the people of the Tianyuan Sect approached Zhou Tian and others until both sides stopped at a distance of a hundred ters.
Ma Biqian casually scanned Zhou Tian and his group with his eyes, finally landing his gaze on Ye Fan, and asked nonchalantly, “Hmm, what’s the relationship of this young man with your Xuanwu Sect? He doesn’t seem like one of your disciples.”
Zhou Tian was full of disdain, wasn’t this a question where the answer was obvious? The clothes of the Xuanwu Sect’s disciples were all embroidered with one Mystic Turtle, yet Ye Fan had nothing on him. Not to ntion he was an elder of the Tianyuan Sect, even an ordinary stranger could tell, right?
Before Zhou Tian could speak, Tong Qianchen said, “He is an Outer Disciple of the Xuanwu Sect. I wonder if Senior Ma has any other questions?”
Taking Ye Fan as an Outer Disciple of the Xuanwu Sect was her decision. Although she didn’t know what the cunning old fox Ma Biqian was up to, it would be better to make Ye Fan’s identity clear first to avoid being mocked by the Xuanwu Sect for creating a scene.
Hmm?
Ma Biqian was taken aback, not expecting Tong Qianchen to say such a thing. In his view, even if Ye Fan was with the people of the Xuanwu Sect, they should have only just t. Was it necessary to oppose him for soone just t?
But he recognized the girl opposite him, knowing she was the cherished daughter of the Sect Leader of Xuanwu, in Xuanwu Sect nearly revered like a pearl in the palm. Why would she defend soone she just t?
Instantly, Ma Biqian thought they might already know Ye Fan’s background. If so, for the sake of a world, both sides fighting is the most normal thing; no one would give up a world full of potential.
However, he was also a scheming old hand and said calmly, “Is that so? Why doesn’t he have the Xuanwu Sect’s insignia on him? Even if he’s an Outer Disciple, there should be an insignia of the Xuanwu Sect on his clothes, right?”
“There’s no need for Senior Ma to worry about this. Since I’ve said he’s a disciple of our Xuanwu Sect, do you think I would lie?”
Even when facing Ma Biqian, who was far stronger than herself, Tong Qianchen remained neither overbearing nor servile, maintaining the deanor of her kind, truly the daughter of a Sect Leader, with courage and insight surpassing that of ordinary cultivators.
“Little girl, this old man didn’t say you were lying, just sothing I must tell you all.”
Ma Biqian’s face turned cold. His hawk-like eyes swept over Ye Fan as if seeing through his entire being.
Then he shifted his gaze to Zhou Tian, continuing, “This person once killed two Outer Disciples of my Tianyuan Sect. He is a criminal our Tianyuan Sect seeks to capture. eting here today, this old man will apprehend him and hand him over to the Sect Leader for punishnt. I hope you hand him over—considering your cooperation, this old man will let you go today; otherwise… hmph!”
“Senior Ma, I respect you as a predecessor, but it doesn’t an our Xuanwu Sect is afraid of you. You say hand over the person and we should hand over the person? What do you take our Xuanwu Sect for? I simply won’t hand him over, what can you do?”
Tong Qianchen was very assertive. From Ma Biqian’s expression, she also realized that Ma Biqian was bluffing, and it wasn’t Ye Fan who hard their Outer Disciples, but she did not understand why a Tianyuan Sect elder would trouble a little cultivator who hadn’t reached True Essence Realm.
However, since she had decided to keep Ye Fan, she certainly couldn’t just hand him over. Moreover, it concerned the dignity of the Xuanwu Sect, which was even more non-negotiable.
“Hahaha…”
Ma Biqian laughed wildly to the sky, and after laughing, his face sank, taking a step forward, his whole being filled with war intent, his aura becoming particularly cold and terrifying.
“What did you say? Say it again?”
Ma Biqian’s threatening gaze turned to Tong Qianchen, coldly saying, as if he would strike if she dared to say again that she wouldn’t hand over the person.
Zhou Tian also took a step forward, standing in front of everyone, shielding them from the oppressive war intent, and his own aura began to grow strong.
However, Chu Feng’s face changed dramatically. On his side, apart from Elder Zhou, only his own strength was the strongest, but they had only about seven or eight people, whereas the Tianyuan Sect had nearly thirty, the difference in strength was too great.
Chu Feng knew clearly that if a fight broke out, aside from Zhou Tian being able to hold Ma Biqian, their side was certainly no match for Tianyuan Sect’s people.
If they fought, he would definitely beco a key target of the Tianyuan Sect. He didn’t want to lose his life and good prospects because of Ye Fan.
Worried, Chu Feng angrily glanced at Ye Fan and then thought of sothing, quickly walking to Tong Qianchen’s side, whispering, “Junior Sister Tong, it’s best to hand over this person. He’s not officially part of our Xuanwu Sect, doesn’t count as one of us. You see the current situation, if we start fighting, we’ll definitely suffer a loss. Why stand up for an outsider?”
Other young cultivators of the Xuanwu Sect also agreed, thinking Chu Feng made sense. Ye Fan was rely soone they saved along the way, without any connection to the Xuanwu Sect, not worth going to war with the Tianyuan Sect over.
Moreover, given the disparity in strength between us and the enemy, if there were truly a conflict, the Xuanwu Sect would not have the upper hand, and even if there were imnse hatred with Tianyuan Sect, it wasn’t worth taking a risk for soone t only three days ago. It’s not worth it.
“Qianchen, look…”
Elder Zhou Tian also looked at Tong Qianchen. He knew as well, although Ma Biqian lost to him last ti by a single move, their strengths were essentially similar, and he had no sure victory.
Moreover, this ti he brought far fewer people than Tianyuan Sect. In such a situation, it’s best to avoid conflict if possible.
A temporary retreat, keeping one’s patience for a future opportunity, such as regaining face at the Genius Tournant in Tianyuan City, isn’t too late. So, he also thought of handing over Ye Fan. Anyway, they had fulfilled their responsibility and it wasn’t worth risking a potentially losing battle with Tianyuan Sect over him.
“No one needs to say more. I said no handover ans no handover. This isn’t just about handing soone over; it’s about the reputation and face of my Xuanwu Sect. I won’t compromise!”
Tong Qianchen’s pretty face turned cold, determined to protect Ye Fan.
“No handover?”
Ma Biqian’s tone was as cold as ice, filled with anger, his battle intent surging.
War, imminent!
